About our mastic sealing in Fryerning

We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about communal area joints that look neglected and failed external movement joints, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Fryerning is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Around smaller places like Fryerning, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?

A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around Fryerning, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.

Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Why appoint us

  • One number for every site we cover
  • Colours confirmed for the specified product
  • Constructionline member for supplier checks
  • CHAS accredited contractor

See what affects the cost or our accreditations and insurance.

After the work

Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:

  • Group repairs into a planned programme
  • Protect low-level joints in entrances
  • Prioritise elevations facing the weather
  • Include mastic in your cyclical inspections

Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.

Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

What affects the price in Fryerning

To price the job, we consider:

  • Travel to remote or island sites
  • Quantities, in metres or numbers
  • The product specified
  • Whether the work must be split into stages

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What we need to price the job

A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:

  • Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

On site: what to expect

Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. If others near Fryerning need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
  2. You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
  3. Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
  4. We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
  5. Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
  6. Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

Advice

FAQs: Fryerning

Is a smaller place like Fryerning outside your area?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

We manage a building near Ingatestone station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.

What paperwork can you provide?

Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.

Will residents or tenants be disturbed?

Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.

Will you just go over the old sealant?

No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

What the job involves on each surface

Estate-wide resealing programmes

A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

Commercial and mixed-use buildings

Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.

Looking after buildings in and around Fryerning

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. At about 24 miles from central London, Fryerning is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.

Trustees of buildings like Church of St Mary the Virgin can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Student blocks close to universities like Writtle University College Cow Watering Campus, 4.1 miles to the north of Fryerning, are easiest to work on between tenancies. With historic buildings such as Ingatestone Hall (to the south-east of Fryerning) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Fryerning should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Honest limits

Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:

  • Leaks from above rather than through a joint
  • Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
  • Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.
